What is stevedore?
Python makes loading code dynamically easy, allowing you to configure
and extend your application by discovering and loading extensions
("plugins") at runtime. Many applications implement their own
library for doing this, using __import__ or
importlib. stevedore avoids creating
yet another extension mechanism by building on top of setuptools
entry points. The code for managing entry points tends to be
repetitive, though, so stevedore provides manager classes for
implementing common patterns for using dynamically loaded
extensions.
What's New?
- Provide an option to control requirements checking when loading plugins, and disable it by default. This removes protection against loading the wrong version of a plugin, or that plugin's dependencies.
